Describe your lifestyle and current relationship status:
I've been happily married 35 yrs to the same man. Was just happy being a houswife and stay at home Mom. Raised 3 kids, Son, and 2 daughters. Xanrose on here is my youngest daughter. Life hasn't been boring though. I love tarantulas, scorpions, snakes, ferrets, dogs & cats and my lovebird. I collect all kinds of arachnids as pets. We enjoy primitive camping with friends at "Rendezvous", which are pre 1840 fur trade events where they have mussleloading shoots and hawk and knife throw competitions. Very primitive camping. I love cooking over an open fire and drinking around the campfire with friends.
I do love sex and rock and roll. I was a child of the hippy era. Didn't live a hippy life style though.

Do you have any "heroes" in your life or your work? Describe:
Don't have any specific heros, Guess Mother Teresa would be one. She gave up everything to help the poor and lived a lifestyle that I would not be able to live. Would miss the beer and Margaritas too much. Also my hero is whoever it was that created beer on tap.

not really.

What makes you happy? Why?
When my husband comes home because he has been working for contractors at Nuclear Plants for yrs and has to travel and live where ever he is working. I love being with my grandchildren who are Xan's children. They are the only grandchildren I have. I love to read and search the internet. Feeding and caring for my 30 plus tarantulas and scorpions is fun and relaxing for me. I love to play the piano. Enjoy singing in our church choir, especially if Xan is there with me. She is one of my best friends! Also going to a Hooters Restaurant and having "roasted" oysters or shrimp and beer.
|
What makes you sad? Why?
Seeing my husband leave to go back to where he works. Had to watch him leave to go off to sea for 4 mos. twice a yr. Got out of the service, and we thought we would never have to be apart again. I also feel sad if one of my tarantulas or scorps die. I'm moving and it will be very sad for me to leave Xan and my friends at church. We've lived here in NJ for 22 yrs. Had Xanrose and her husband and 2 kids living with me for 8 yrs and I will miss them so much.

Describe your most "humbling" moment:
Watching my Mother die slowly from PSP (Progressive Supra Nuclear Palsey) and realising how illness strike you suddenly and theres nothing you can do in some cases. Also seeing my husband extremely sick and almost dying. I became his care giver at home, and realised how much he means to me and how much I really loved him. We had talked of divorse a couple times, this event made me realise I can't live without him and I appreciate his love so much more then I ever did before. Xan and I have had to help me with some serious low blood sugar events over the yrs as well because he is an insulin dependent diabetic. He has scared us so bad, but we believe God has had his hand in our being able to save him in situations where he would have died. Makes us more humble dealing with this. We've had to have a lot of patience with him because he is sometimes combatant and makes us angry.
